1788 New Jersey copper. Maris 77-dd (DS1). Rarity-3. Running Fox. Double struck, 2nd strike 20% off-center. VF-35 (PCGS).155.8 grains. 28.6 mm. An exciting error Running Fox, struck once normally, then again with significant separation between strikes. The dominant second strike is very bold and shows a nice clear fox on the reverse. The surfaces are pleasing light brown, finely granular but retaining good gloss. Perfect dies, Die State 1. This would be a nice Running Fox even without the error, but with such a profound double striking it becomes interesting and desirable on an entirely different level.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers.
